    Event description

    Join astrophysicist Professor Richard Ellis, University College London who will present our 2024 Stibbs Lecture.

    The Quest For Cosmic Dawn: Results from the James Webb Space Telescope

    The first billion years after the Big Bang represent the final frontier in assembling a complete picture of cosmic history. During this period it is conjectured that early galaxies formed and the universe first became bathed in starlight. How and when did all this occur?

    Recent progress with the James Webb Space Telescope suggests we may soon witness this dramatic period when the universe emerged from darkness. The motivation is fundamental: the origin of starlight began the chemical evolution which ultimately led to our own existence in this remarkable universe.
